DECISION AND ENTRY
ADOPTING THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE (Doc. 10)

This case is before the Court pursuant to the Order of General Reference in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio Western Division to United
States Magistrate Judge Stephanie K. Bowman. Pursuant to such reference, the
Magistrate Judge reviewed the pleadings filed with this Court and, on March 10, 2017,
submitted a Report and Recommendation. (Doc. 10). Following the Report and
Recommendation, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction on April
5, 2017, informing the Court that Petitioner had been deported. (Doc. 12). The
Magistrate Judge submitted a supplemental Report and Recommendations on April 7,
2017. (Doc. 13).
As required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b), the Court has
reviewed the comprehensive findings of the Magistrate Judge and considered de novo

all of the filings in this matter. Upon consideration of the foregoing, the Court agrees
with the Report and Recommendation that this civil action is now moot following
Petitioner’s deportation.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that respondent’s motion to dismiss (Doc. 12) be
GRANTED and the petition for a writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 1) be DENIED. The
Clerk shall enter judgment accordingly, whereupon this case shall be CLOSED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Date: 4/10/17
